Nashville, Tenn, May 6.-Eigh
teen years ago the doors Of the
State Prison closed upon Frank
Riddle, of Maury county, who had
been sentenced to life imprison

sisted upon plea of not guilty
The trial resulted in his convic

to the Supreme Court, which
granted new hearing. A sec

The Creole Women.

The young girl is educated in a con-
vent and leads a secluded existence
until she is launched in society, and
then in the joyous life that bursts up
on her she is always surrounded by
the same watchful care that guarded
her childhood. Young girls are not
allowed to 60 into society without
being accompanied by their mothers
or some other married lady, as chap
erone-one OF the many Creole customs
which has been generally adopted by
the American residents OF New Orleans.
These young girls are often wonder
fully beautiful Good features, hand
some eyes and graceful figures combine
to make them very attractive, their
beauty beingnot infrequently Oriental
in type, though the vivacity OF their
manners marks them as essentially
French in character. Many Creole
women are very accomplished. They
have a skill in music and painting
that is often artistic. In the literary
clubs which society women have inau'
gurated OF late years in New Orleans,
the American ladies have been aston
ished to fird the Creole ladies quite as
we'll posted as themselves in English
literature, while possessing much
greater knowledge OF the literature OF
other countries. But an accomplish
ment still more attractive to the
impecunious young man seeking
matrimony is the exquisite taste with
which these maidens fair will fashion
their own gowns and bonnets when
circumstances require them to make
these things at home. The Creole
women have inherited the French taste
in dress, and in q greater degree than
other Americans, they regard the fat
OF Paris as the supreme authority in
all matters concerning the toilet. AL.
so, the Creole women OF all ages and
OF all classes are devout. Neither
social engagements, nor weather, nor
other obstacles are allowed 10 inter
fere with the discharge OF their relig-
ious duties. Are they not somewhat
superstitious? Some OF them little
so, perhaps, in remembrance OF VOC
doc stories told them IN their infancy
by old negro nurses.-New Orleans

on politeness we note also that often
when men try to be polite to q lady
they annoy her and are really impo-

An Italian doctor who vaccinated
the women in the Sultan's seragho in
Constantinople, $50 in number, did
not get much fun out of his job. The
operations took place in large hall
under the supervision of four gigantic
eunuchs. The surgeon was stationed
in front Of a huge screen and the
women were concealed behind it. The
women thrust their arms through a
hole in the screen just large enough
for tho purpose, one after another,
and it was impossible for the surgeon
to get even a glimpse OF his patients.
Furthermore, two eunuchs threw a
shawl over his face instantly an oper-
alton was concluded, and did not re-
move it till the next arm was placed
